Our garden is a Per- ennial one, and I am full of curiosity to know just what it will be like this year. Last summer we were away for two month's, leaving a man to keep the place weeded. He did not show up once; so when WO returned, the garden was •choked with weeds. It was such a dry summer, that .the few plants, which could bo seen above the weeds, were wilted and forlorn. Some of `them will not survive, I am sure. What a crop of weeds there will be this year, as judging from ap- pearances all the weeds bloomed and scattered their seeds. There was an unusual spell of wea- ther in February. The sun was so hot, that the perennials started perke ing up. There must have been at least a dozen plants, that were quite green and flourishing. •Since that time there has been several falls of snow, se whether the plants will sur- vive or not remains to be seen, The English Violets had a surprising amount of growth. There is an edg- ing -ant in the garden that is name - Bladder Trouble Mr. J. Conetoelie Pincher Creel, Alta., writ..: -"T had been troubled with re,,y kidneys and bladder for some time, sad. had to pt up four or five timw during the night. eI tried, several kinds of kids* and liver pills, but none of than seemed to do ane any good. • e"I thought Y would try.

It was given to me by a neigh- bor, who is one of those sort of gar- deners, who has a beautiful garden, but does not know the names of half the plants he grows. It ahvays makes me uncontoftable to have a plant I cannot name—like meeting someone whose face you know and Yet cannot name them. Some day 1 hope I will find out what it is, as it is such a pleasant little plant, :It is ashless la year garnets, tad la stars censaiaation' with otIstr $at►tr, a saber l,y eiidtt or chance, you retch hit upon Some delightful dolor cora, biusanens.

Plaice and Forget-me-not planted so closely that they intermingle are very lovely. Colored flowers appeal to ane mucic more than white ones, but to have an effective garden you must have an abundance of white flowers, as they add to the interest and voter oa all the other flowers. Perennial plants should never be planted in straight news, if there is rootn,`ttliey are best planted in clumps of at least 3 to 5 plants. Planted in this way, there aro bays of shade and shadow and aro much more beautiful, than when planted in the mathemati- cal precision of stiff straight rows. SHRUBS Shrubs and' Perennials make a nat- ural alliance and are a very pleasant form of gardening for the lazy gar- dener, who does not want his or her garden to take too muck time or work. We are accustomed to having flowering shrubs in the Spring, but many people do not realize that one may have perpetual bloom, through- out the season, by !ironer plantiner of flowering shrubs, If there is room in the splendid baekerennial round,garden, butythy eyYe e equally lovely as specimen plants planted singly. The 1930 catalogue of the Wm. Rennie Co. Is a specially attractive. one, as it has so many colored il- lustrations. They give illustrations of 20 flowered shrubs, and this is a help in planning your planting, or as an aid in identifying the shrubs green front the time the snow goes, ft' which you see in other gardens. has several shades of green in its Many people propogate their own .eaves, an indifferent little purplish- shrubs, This takes time, but some - Glue flower, and lasts until fall, al- how the years roll around quickly, in though the foliage does fade some- what. Lastly it spreads, not riotous. ly, but just enough. Altogether it is a very satisfactory covering plant. PERENNIAL GARDENS A perennial garden is a joy. Each spring the plants come up one by one, as old friends to greet you. Some pop up very early and perhaps they are the most welcome. Others take their own good time. until you almost -despair ei' them. 'The Chinese Lan- tern Plant is one of those; but at last it starts to grow. and is even more welcome after a little anxiety over its delayed appearance. One must pos- sess cne's soul in patience, when you garden growing and developing. GENEROUS GARDENERS Last of all, do not be a stingy gar, dener, Our gardens are like our lives we get out of them just what we put in. If we give of ourselves or of our gardens, then our lives aro that much richer. THE UNIVERSIiT'Y GRADUATES IN BUSINESS Not so long ago it was thought that if a man went to. University he was ruinedfor r a business life, w and n would never make good in that line of work. That idea -has gone the way of a good many others, and at the present time .Fbrennaal-Golden,"ibecause ifjmanf- rge"firms are requiring::.a. roti go digging about, too soon you University degree. In most cases what he has learned at college will not be of any particular advantage,; but his 'mind will be trained to think. The athlete does not do exercises in a aymnasltnn to learn how to do that particular exercise, but tostrengthen and train his 'body, just as musi- cians do scales, not to learn how to play a scale, but to have their hands in such a condition that they will re- spond to their will, so a mind that has been exercised and trained to think, should be of more valuethan an untrained mind. That does not mean that only those who have a Uni- versitytraining can think, because there are some people that no' amount of education would evermake them of, much. value, but it stands to reason .that a mind which is trained is of more value than that same mind un- trained. may destroy some of the ,precious plants. - If you havegrown annuals, and, then start to grow Perennials, you will be delighted with the length of the blooming season. Months before you are accustomec; to having bloom, you will have flowers in your garden, and 'with judicious planting, you can have • bloom until the snow . comes. Chrysanthemums are about the latest flowers to bloom, and for that reason should be included. I have seen Sweet Alyssum continue to bloont after the first fall of snow. Last summer, even the Alyssum had quit blooming through ` neglect. However the rains in the Fall revived it and again it was covered with, .bloom. 1 tried the experiment of potting it and bringing it into the house, but it died. down immediately. - .Sortie- people seem to think that if a perennial garden .is once planted, it cannot be changed. That is a great mistake. Lot your spirit of adven- ture have it's chance, in the limits of your garden.

Somehow a woman can make a home even when there is very little money to come and go on. But it is a very difficult thing for a man to make a home under any ,circumstance, and when he is handicapped by lack of money it is that much worse. If his children are small, he will have to hire help, and under the best of eon.. ditions, it is almost impossible to hire anyone who will take an interest in, and look after a family. When there is little money it is increasingly dif- ficult.

However, there has been a very prac- tical application of it out in Alberta. Farmers who ordered . molasses for stock feed, could not get delivery be- cause the molasses poured so slowly that it could not he put into the bar- rels quickly enough. To the casual reader this seems rather funny, but there would be nothing funny about it for those Concerned. RABBIT COOKERY Rabbits are a serious pest in scene Parts of the country, and rabbit shoot- ing is one of the most popular sports. So. I think that some rabbit• recipes might prove useful. Rabbits are cheaper this year, but last year 1 found that rabbit was more expensive than chicken. The other day in a grocery store, 2 noticed canned rab- bit. It was cheap meat, as a two - pound can was 47 cents. Rabbit Fricasse Dress and clean 2 rabbits and dis- joint in pieces for serving. Dust with flour and salt and pepper.. Fry care- fully in fat for 80 minutes. Put in a kettle with 2 chopped onions, 1 tea- spoon celery salt, and 2 teaspoons salt. Cover with water, andsimmer for 2 to 2i/e hours. Thicken the gravy with flour moistened with cold water. Rabbit Raked in Milk 1 rabbit, 1/3 cups flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon sage, 3 tablespoons 'fat, 3 strips bacon, 4 cups thin ' white sauce. .Dress and clean, 1 rabbit and disjoint in pieces for serving. Mix the ilour, salt and sage in a bowl 'Thoroughly "coat the rabbit with this mixture. Fry in the fat until well browned. Place the rabbit in a casserole and lay the ba- con over the top. Pour the thin white sauce over and around the rabbit. Bake in a moderate oven for 2 hours or until the meat is tender.
